I will become an octogenarian in May of 2018. Cosequently, I am considering selling my lovingly restored 1950 Ford Custom-Deluxe 4-door sedan with a 6-cylinder engine. Any words of wisdom & experience to enlighten me in this effort? There is a picture in the Early Ford Gallery; it is painted the original color "Hawthorne Green" with modern clearcoat paint. Anyone out there interested in acquiring such a classic car? I live in northern Ohio near Cleveland; perhaps someone in the Northern Ohio (RG#20) is seeking such a car? I will be asking $16K which is well-below what I have invested in the restoration. This car was purchased new in 1950 by my wife's grandmother in NW Pennsylvania.

Thank you for taking the time to offer your comments. My acceptance and recognition that it may be time for me to sell my 1950 Ford has been a very trying experience since this restoration project has been very near and dear to my heart for many years. Alas tempus-fugits and the time for selling may have come; I'm still struggling with the idea. A recent article in the Early Ford V-8 Club magazine had an article about the sale of a 1951 Ford; it sounds very promising for a successful sale. I plan to contact Harwood to discuss my sale. Are you familiar with Harwood Motors marketing program?

Might you consider age not being a factor in your decision to sell!!! If you do not need the money and have space, keep your beloved car. It’s like putting a beloved dog down, if you don’t have to don’t Just some food for thought

There are quite a few guys in their 80's still driving and enjoying their cars. I am one of them. Old age is more a state of mind than physical ability. If you go for long walks every day, you will find that you have more energy and enthusiasm. I will admit that I cannot do all of the the things that I did when I was 80, but I still can change the oil, wash and wax the car. Long trips tire me out more than they used to, but I can still take shorter trips and enjoy the company of other Ford guys. I already told my kids that the only thing that I am leaving them is the problem of getting rid of all of my stuff. My advice is if you still enjoy your car, keep it. If it is a lot of trouble to take care of, sell it. Tom

EWaters, Some good advice above, but talk to Matt Harwood and remember your heirs could use him too, if you recommended him. I would! 1934 Ford's since 1972

Keep it! I'll be 79 in August, and no way am I going to sell my '51 Club Coupe. They are just too much fun to drive. BT
